WordPress WP-ShortStat plugin issues

Some time ago my blog stats stopped updating. I was using Jeff Minard’s WP-ShortStat plugin that was based on ShortStat by Shaun Inman. I did a little digging at the time and ran some MySQL DB maintenance as I was convinced I’d reached some sort of limitation in my hosted environment. This didn’t help and I let the matter drop as I was busy with other commitments.

It now seems like this is a known issue that began when I upgraded to WordPress 2.02. Luckily Markus Kämmerer has continued development of the WP-ShortStat plugin, adding new features as well as fixing the bug. You can get the updated plugin at http://blog.happyarts.de/wp-shortstat/. Installation is a breeze and my stats are updating once again.
